N64 owners like me, if you go to IGN 64 they have a list of games, that are bargains, the best to get this year and the best overall.
But many of them are not even here.
There's a countless number of them including some great games like: ExciteBike- out next year!, Battle Of Naboo- Out in US in dec 15th, out here next year sometime, Banjo Tooie- dogged with framerate problems so we do have an advantage of getting a better game, Indiana Jones and the infenal machine- will it ever get released here!
And that includes Pokemon Gold and Silver! It's so popular here, they still don't want to release it here at the same time, but why?
The same thing happens to the PS2 release date and the reluctance to make a solid GameCube release. !
But i hate to see games come out in America first, i want to get it the same time as those americans and not 5 months after!

Remember though, the Americans do have a lot more problems with framerate than we do.
I'm not sure why, but I think Dan_UK knows.

Speaking of release dates, my friend ordered a few games with his PS2 and it looks as though that Star Wars starfighter one has been put back. Wonder if PS2 owners are gonna be left waiting for that as long as long as Dreamcast owners have waited for the likes of Shenmue and MSR.
Mind you at least the wait for MSR and Shenmue has been worth it ;-)
Makes you laugh though, MSR was a game first advertised along with Ready 2 Rumble boxing. By the time it has come out, Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 has been released and its certainly no rushed out game.
Having lots of fun with R2R round 2 at the moment thanks to my cousins getting it for me :-)
Won't be able to play Shenmue and MSR till the end of January though cause I haven't got the spare cash to get them :-(

Yep, US games definately work on a UK gameboy, which means I wouldn't have to wait for games if I could afford them in the first place. As for other consoles, the N64 has an addon called 'passport', the Dreamcast and Playstation both have the new Action Replay cheat cartridges, which all allow you to use import US or Jap games (but only if your TV is dual scan, i.e. 50/60khz.) Mine isn't, but as I said before, by the time I get the money for games they've already arrived in this country anyway!
I don't like it when a good topic, which might have been done before or not, deterierates into one or two word messages.
Good idea about the GB, I didn't know that our GBs played US games, might try that soon.
If you want their games then buy a transfer pak, my mate had one but took a long time to get set up and the games weren't always reliable, you might aswell wait for them to get released here, the Amercians are our Guinepigs, they have the prototypes and then we get the new improved version, with hardly any bugs, sped up framerate and whatever, PDark wouldn't have been the same if it was slow, I'm glad the American's got rid of the face mapping. now we can have counter co-op a bit faster.
